Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 498

Although Chongzhen thought it was a good way to seek peace, if the courtiers knew about it now, it might not be so easy to end.

Historically, after the Battle of Songjin in the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to organize troops in Liaodong, and Jiannu in Liaodong was about to enter the customs.

At this time, Chen Xinjia stepped forward, met with Chongzhen secretly, and proposed to sue for peace.

At this time, Chongzhen also agreed to the peace request and asked Chen Xinjia to supervise the matter in person.

When supervising the handling, Chongzhen strictly prohibited the matter from spreading.

Chongzhen understood that if the courtiers knew about the peace request, the whole court might explode.

At the beginning, the matter of seeking peace was relatively smooth.

During the Battle of Songjin, Jiannu also suppressed his national fortune. Although he won the battle, it also consumed a lot of family property.

In order to be able to recuperate better, Jianu also took advantage of the situation and showed his willingness to negotiate peace.

When the document of Jiannu's willingness to sue for peace was sent back from Liaodong, Chen Xinjia put the document on the table in the study because of carelessness.

His family boy mistakenly thought it was a good news from Liaodong, so he handed it over.

When the matter was leaked, the ministers were in an uproar.In this matter, Fang Shiliang took the lead in writing a letter to impeach Chen Xinjia.

But this matter was also agreed by Emperor Chongzhen, and Chongzhen naturally understood something when he saw this.

Although Chongzhen was angry, he had to suppress the memorial first.

It's okay not to suppress it, but once it was suppressed, the officials in the capital instantly understood what was going on.

Those censors and gossip officials seemed to be holding on to something, and the impeachment became more severe.

Although Chongzhen was not explicitly impeached, the spearhead was directed at Chongzhen.

Seeing this, Chongzhen had no choice but to question Chen Xinjia in order to save his face.

At first, Chongzhen didn't want to kill Chen Xinjia, after all, this person still has certain abilities.

However, Chen Xinjia has a bad problem, that is, arrogance.

An imperial edict issued to him by Chongzhen was to ask him why he negotiated peace without telling himself.

At this time, Chongzhen perfectly picked himself out.

If Chen Xinjia could take all the blame on himself at this time, maybe Chongzhen would let him go.

However, Chen Xinjia couldn't see the situation clearly. Not only did he not blame himself for the crime, he even boasted how much credit he had made.

And there are signs of confessing Chongzhen.

Seeing this, Chongzhen naturally couldn't let Chen Xinjia continue talking nonsense for the sake of his own face.

Chongzhen imprisoned Chen Xinjia in Zhao Prison. Although some officials who had a good relationship with Chen Xinjia continued to write letters to defend Chen Xinjia, Chongzhen's murderous intention was determined and he was beheaded within a short time.

It took two months from being imprisoned to beheading Linlin. It can be seen that in Chongzhen's heart, his own face is more important than the life of an official.

As soon as Chen Xinjia died, the peace talks were shelved.The officials in the court saw that Chen Xinjia, who had made many contributions to the court, was beheaded by Chongzhen. Since then, no one dared to mention the peace negotiation.

"Your Majesty, this matter can come in secret, as long as the courtiers don't know, everything is easy to talk about." Standing in the center of the imperial study, Chen Xinjia murmured to Chongzhen.

"Don't let the courtiers know?" Chongzhen was a little puzzled.

Chen Xinjia said: "Your Majesty, that's right, just keep the courtiers from knowing. At that time, after the peace negotiation is successful, if the courtiers know about it.

At that time, the raw rice had already been cooked, and the courtiers had nothing to do.If His Majesty is at ease with the minister, he can leave this matter to the minister, and the minister can even go to Xuanzhen in person. "

Chongzhen's eyes lit up when he heard that Chen Xinjia could go to Xuanzhen in person.

"Are you sure?" Chongzhen asked in disbelief.

Now that Zhao Wen is planning to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, it can be said that Zhao Wen has already determined to rebel. Xuanzhen at this time is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to the officials of the court. Anyone who dares to go to Xuanzhen at this time, in Chongzhen's view, They are all loyal ministers.

Chen Xinjia said loudly: "I came up step by step from Zhizhou, and I have also experienced many wars. I still have some courage."

In Chen Xinjia's eyes, Zhao Wen was not Jiannu after all, and it was impossible for him to kill himself after he went to Xuanzhen.

Although Chen Xinjia had never had contact with Zhao Wen, Chen Xinjia felt that Zhao Wen should not be as shameless as Jiannu.

"Well, well, well, you are really a loyal minister, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Chongzhen laughed loudly, with a happy face. "Since that's the case, then I will leave this matter to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xinjia saluted Chongzhen.

"If Aiqing can succeed in this matter, then I recommend you to enter the cabinet." Chongzhen drew a big cake for Chen Xinjia.

When Chen Xinjia heard this, he suddenly became excited.

Although he tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't hide the flush on his face.

Chen Xinjia was born in Juren. From the establishment of the cabinet until now, there is almost no cabinet elder who was born in Juren.

This is the top of civil servants, something that Chen Xinjia dreamed of, how could Chen Xinjia not be excited?

"Your Majesty, I would like to put my heart and soul to the ground!" Chen Xinjia kowtowed and bowed to Chongzhen three times and nine times.

……

A few days later, Chen Xinjia took a few soldiers selected from the capital camp and a few domestic servants, got into a carriage, and walked out of the capital.

Xuan Town is not far from the capital, and within a few days, Chen Xinjia came to the vicinity of Chang'an, the defense line east of Xuan Town.

On an official road that had been in disrepair for a long time, Chen Xinjia was sitting in a carriage, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

His entourage followed the carriage on horseback.

This official road leads directly to Chang'an Office. On the capital side, because of disrepair for a long time, it is full of potholes.

But under the rule of Chang'an, it became a very smooth concrete road.

Chen Xinjia was discovered by several patrolling cavalry before he formally entered the Chang'an office.

These cavalry surrounded Chen Xinjia's team, looking at Chen Xinjia and the others warily.

The carriage that Chen Xinjia was riding in stopped, and the attendants who followed the carriage also hurriedly jumped off their horses.

After seeing these soldiers and horses, these followers did not dare to resist at all.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" A soldier raised his 56 and a half and shouted loudly.

Chen Xinjia came out of the carriage, and he jumped off the carriage, "I'm from the capital. I want to see your Lord Chief Soldier. I have something to talk to him about. As for my identity, I will wait until I meet your Lord Chief Soldier." Say it again."

"Hehe, what are you, you still want to see my commander-in-chief?" The leading soldier looked at Chen Xinjia with disdain, and sarcastically said.

Chen Xinjia was not angry, he looked at the soldiers in front of him quietly, "I was sent by the imperial court, I have important matters to discuss with your adults, I advise you to let me in.

If your adults know that you have delayed the military plane, I am afraid they will not forgive you. "

"Hehe, where is all this nonsense coming from? It's really noisy!" The leading soldier controlled the horse and led his subordinates to take a few steps forward.

"Be good now, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Follow me now, otherwise, be careful that the weapon in my hand is not recognized." The leading soldier glared at Chen Xinjia and shouted loudly.

Chen Xinjia looked at the ferocious looks of these people, and didn't say any more.

"Okay, I will follow you!" Chen Xinjia said and jumped into the carriage again.

Under the supervision of these soldiers, Chen Xinjia's carriage and his entourage slowly moved towards Chang'an Office.

When they entered the city of Chang'an, the leading soldiers took Chen Xinjia and others into the prison.

As for the things they carried with them, they were detained.

Chen Xinjia stood in the cell, looked at the defenders outside, and shouted loudly: "I want to see your commander-in-chief, let me out!"

Although Chen Xinjia kept yelling, the soldiers outside the cell ignored him as if they didn't hear him.

Chen Xinjia yelled for a long time, but found that no one answered him, so he squatted in the corner of the cell, sulking.

At this time, the leader of the soldiers escorting Chen Xinjia came to a thousand households with the things Chen Xinjia was carrying, and this thousand households were his superiors.

In the garrison where Qianhu is located, there is a carriage and several war horses.

Beside the carriage, there were also things Chen Xinjia was carrying.

"My lord, look, we found these things from that group of people. Because of the urgent time, we didn't search carefully." The leading soldier looked at Qianhu Guan, and pointed to the carriage and other assets in the open space. said the object.

Qianhu Guan walked to the side of the carriage. He looked at the things on the ground, squatted down, and started groping in these things.

Not long after, Qianhu found something like Chen Xinjia's identity certificate.

"The censor of Youqian Capital and the right servant of the Ministry of War, this official is not young, what is he doing here?" Qianhu looked at Chen Xinjia's official seal and identity certificate in his hand, with a look of confusion.

"My lord, why don't you interrogate them yourself? When we first arrested them, the leader kept yelling that he wanted to see Mr. Chief Soldier because he had something important to do," the soldier replied.

Qianhu nodded, "If that's the case, let's go and have a look."

As Qianhu said, he walked towards the prison, holding something like Chen Xinjia's identity certificate in his hand.

Not long after, Qianhu had dinner outside the cell where Chen Xinjia was.

"Are you the censor of the right capital and the right servant of the military department?" Qianhu asked loudly, looking at Chen Xinjia who was squatting in the cell.

Chen Xinjia saw a man who looked like an official standing outside the prison, and hurriedly stood up from the ground, "I am Chen Xinjia, the censor of Youqian Capital and the right servant of the Ministry of War. Who are you?"

"I am Wang Dahe, the [-]th household in Chang'an." Qianhu replied, and then asked: "You are not an official in the capital, what are you doing here?"

"I'm not here, I'm going to Xuanzhen, and I want to see your commander-in-chief!" Chen Xinjia said.

"See Mr. Zongbing? Are you able to see Mr. Zongbing? Quickly tell me what you want to do when you come to my Xuan Town? If you can't say anything, don't even think about seeing Mr. Zongbing!" Wang Dahe said coldly.

Chen Xinjia asked: "I said, can you guarantee that I will see your commander-in-chief?"

"If you don't tell me, how do I know what you are talking about when you see the Chief Soldier?" Wang Dahe retorted.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll just say it straight. I saw your commander-in-chief to seek peace!" Chen Xinjia said.

Chapter 577 Dare to ask, but Mr. Zhao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen?

"Begging for peace?"

"That's right, it's just a peace request. Don't you say it's okay to ask for peace? Why don't you hurry up and let me see your commander-in-chief? If you delay this matter because of your reasons, will you be guilty?" ?Stop talking nonsense, let me see your commander-in-chief quickly, if you delay, your commander-in-chief will probably not easily bypass you." Chen Xinjia looked at Wang Dahe and said threateningly and sarcastically.

Wang Dahe frowned and said, "Seeking peace is not a trivial matter, why should I believe that you are here to ask for peace?"

At any time, such a matter of seeking peace is a major matter, and a small official cannot decide on such a level of matter, even if Chen Xinjia is the censor of the capital of Youqin and the right servant of the Ministry of War.

"I searched your things just now. I didn't see anything like an imperial decree. Why should I believe that you are here to seek peace? If you have any ulterior motives, the matter will definitely be counted on me in the end. " Wang Dahe narrowed his eyes and kept looking at Chen Xinjia, trying to see any flaws in Chen Xinjia's face.

However, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any flaws on Chen Xinjia's face.

"The court officials will never agree to such a thing as a peace request. Although His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, in certain matters, he is constrained by the court officials.

In order to fully proceed with the peace-seeking matter, His Majesty chose to bypass the court officials and secretly asked me to come to Xuanzhen in person.

Since I came here in secret, of course I don't have any imperial edicts on me. "Chen Xinjia explained in detail.

Wang Dahe looked at Chen Xinjia as if he was lying, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not for a while.

"I said, I don't need to deceive you about this kind of thing, I really don't need to deceive you." Chen Xinjia saw that Wang Dahe still had a face of disbelief, and kept explaining.

"My lord, what this person said should be true. I think we should report this news to the Chief Soldier and let the Chief Soldier make a decision. Anyway, it will take less than a day." The soldiers standing beside Wang Dahe approached Beside Wang Dahe, whispered.

Wang Dahe nodded, "You're right, then let's report this matter to the Chief Soldier, and let the Chief Soldier make a decision."

Wang Dahe walked out of the prison as soon as he said that. Chen Xinjia looked at the back of Wang Dahe leaving, and shouted at the top of his voice: "What I said is true, why don't you believe me? Come back to me, everything I said is true." So big!"

After Wang Dahe walked out of the prison, he asked people to take the news and get on the train towards Xuanzhen.

During the period when Zhao Wen attacked Liaodong, the railway in Xuanzhen had been built to every corner of Xuanzhen, and Chang'an also had a railway station.

The soldiers who sent the order got on the train and arrived in Xuanzhen in a short time.

After receiving Zhao Wen's accurate reply, the messenger took the train back to Chang'an Office.By this time, it was already dark.

Early the next morning, a dozen or so soldiers brought Chen Xinjia to the train station at Chang'an.

Because he came to seek peace, Chen Xinjia was not tied up.

Chen Xinjia stood on the platform of Chang'an Station with his entourage and his belongings.

It didn't take long for the railway to be built here, and there were almost no people here, so the railway station was relatively simple, with only a few pavilions for shelter from the wind and rain.

Chen Xinjia stood on the platform. He looked at the railway next to the platform with a puzzled look on his face.

"What are these people doing? Didn't they say they wanted to take me to Xuan Town? How did they get here? Still standing here motionless? What the hell is this up to?
